If I Were Dr. Evil: I’d Skip the Shark Death Ray and Start Three Wars

If I were Dr. Evil, I wouldn’t build a death ray—I’d build three crises. Light up the Middle East, keep NATO and Russia occupied in Europe, then watch China eye Taiwan while America tries to put out three fires with one garden hose. The nightmare isn’t one enemy defeating America; it’s several adversaries realizing they don’t have to take turns.

Useful Idiots: When the Revolution You Cheered Comes for You

History’s most dangerous political bait-and-switch begins when groups with completely incompatible end goals unite around a common enemy. Iran’s Marxists thought they were using the Islamists; the Islamists had other plans. Today, America’s socialists, progressives, and Islamist activists sometimes find themselves marching beneath the same anti-capitalist and anti-Western banners. Iran offers an uncomfortable warning: before helping tear down the old order, you’d better ask what your revolutionary partners intend to build in its place—and whether they’ll still need you when they’re finished.

911: 25-Years, What’s the Truth?

Twenty-five years later, America doesn’t need another cover-up—it needs confidence. That confidence doesn’t come from telling people to stop asking questions. It comes from following the evidence wherever it leads. Maybe a new investigation changes nothing. Maybe it confirms everything. Or maybe retired officials, newly released records, and witnesses with nothing left to lose finally fill in the missing pieces. We may not like every answer we find, but if America is ever going to heal and move forward together, it starts with knowing the truth.

Firearms Are Part of My Religion: The Armed Christian Creed

What if the duty to protect your family didn’t begin with the Second Amendment at all? The Armed Christian Creed argues that our responsibility to defend innocent life comes from God, while the Constitution simply recognizes and protects a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms. We worship God, not our arms. They are not symbols of aggression, but tools carried with discipline, humility, and the hope they are never needed. The firearm is not sacred. The life we may someday be called upon to protect is.

Some New Life in the Uranium One Scandal: Could there POSSIBLY be an Iranian connection?

The Uranium One scandal was a 2010 controversy in which the Obama administration approved the takeover of Uranium One—a Canadian company with significant uranium mining assets in the United States—by Russia’s state-owned Rosatom corporation. Critics alleged a pay-to-play scheme, pointing to large donations (roughly $145 million) to the Clinton Foundation from individuals connected to Uranium One and its investors, as well as a $500,000 speaking fee paid to Bill Clinton by a Russian bank involved in the deal.

Is Ohio Dem House Candidate Leonard Lying to Keep His DSA Under a Bushel?

In King James’ version of the Bible – in Matthew 5:15-16 – Jesus says:

“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”

Jesus was encouraging us to not hide from the world our skills and good qualities. But to instead allow them to shine in the open – and illuminate the world for everyone.

It’s not too big of a stretch to apply Jesus’ parable to what’s currently going on with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – and Ohio’s 15th Congressional district.

The hands behind the presidential meat puppet.

The 25th Amendment is a pretty nifty constitutional tool because it answers the question of what would have happened if Jack Kennedy somehow survived Dallas.

The Constitution says: “Section Four: Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Being Older Means Being Lucky; And Maybe Even Legendary

I received the commentary below from the son of a WW II Marine who was killed in action on Iwo Jima and who was awarded a Purple Heart and Navy Cross posthumously. He and I exchange emails on topics of interest—most often related to the military, social issues, politics, and the state of our nation. We are both veterans who have grave concerns about the future of America.

AOC is DOA Via DSA

AOC, when accused of being a socialist, had this to say: “Can I tell you a secret? Most people don’t really know what capitalism is; most people don’t even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalist because they don’t have capitalist money. They’re not billionaires.”

When Elections Lose Legitimacy

The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements. It cannot survive indefinitely if its citizens no longer believe their government derives its authority from legitimate elections.

Australia, Firearms, and the Canary in the Coal Mine

Australia’s latest firearm buyback isn’t just a debate about guns. It’s a debate about the relationship between citizens and the state. Supporters see a legitimate public safety measure. Critics see a government placing a price tag on a fundamental human right: self-defense. The controversy reaches far beyond firearms and into larger questions about media, regulation, taxation, and the expanding role of government in modern democracies. Whether Australia represents a successful model or a warning sign depends entirely on where you stand. But the canary in the coal mine has already begun to sing.
